The unit will automatically cut-out to prevent damage by ‘overheating’ should the unit be left unattended or misused by a user.
Assembly Firstly remove the steamer from its transportation packaging, including the cellophane hygiene bags. Take the Glass water vessel from its packaging and ensure the rubber water seal is fitted to the rim of the jar. It is advisable to wash the new water vessel thoroughly before its first use, with clean water only. Next mount the water vessel into its housing point around the heater element ensuring a snug fit before tightening the retaining adjuster from below. Then mount the steamer to the trolley mounting point by aligning the bayonet fitting into the receiving hole of the trolley. Once this has been done, take the power supply lead and insert into the indicated socket on the rear of the steamer. Then plug the power cord into the mains and switch on.

MAINTENANCE It is advisable to clean your steamer at least once a week, preferably to also include descaling of the water heater element. Once the steamer unit is cold the water vessel should be removed and filled with the appropriate descaling /water solution and left to stand overnight. Then remove the water vessel and rinse with clean water to expel any descaling agent residue. Then refill with water and run the steamer through a minimum of one run cycle, to remove any remaining residue from the steamer unit. Then remove the water vessel and rinse as before. Refill with water and you are then ready for use. Failure to remove all descaling residue may result in ‘spitting’ of the steamer. If this occurs, simply repeat the rinse and refill proceedure until the issue is resolved. Although the steamer unit has an automatic low level cut out system. It is advisable to regularly check the water level during operation. By pre-empting the activation of the safety cut out, you will extend both the time between cleaning, and also the longevity of the steamers heater element. Failure of the heater element due to incorrect operation or by lack of cleaning will invalidate your product warranty.
